Hi sorry for the messy post...I just want to share my OC experience overclocking a server MB

I got this server Nvidia nforce4 based Tyan S4985 Quad socket motherboard really cheap and after a few weeks searchingonline shops for a suitable case I bought the CM-810 stacker with dual 120 mm exhaust fan outlets.

CM810 product specs
">http://global.coolerma...com.....te=17&id=13


It's the only towercase that I could find that would fit this motherboard.

Bought it from a CM affiliate shop in NL and paid some 40 euros for shipping to Denmark. AFAIK it's not being produced by CM anymore but they might still have some left in that online shop I bought it from.

I am having some fun overclocking this beast and had some success in windows XP and partial success in Windows 7.

I actually got the board running now in WinXP with two 8384 cpu's I got off ebay and can overclock it to above 3.3 GHz unstable 3.2 stable with two northQ all in watercooling sets. Unfortunately only in WinXP using ntune 3.0 or 2.5. Haven't tried XP64 bit...maybe it will work there as well.

RAM: Got 800Mhz ECC DDR2 ram that was originally SPD'ed to 667 (8 pcs of 1 GB kingston singlerank ECC) which I 'upgraded' to 800 Mhz by repgramming the SPD, otherwise the BIOS would'nt change the mem speed to 800 Mhz. (Used some SPD reprogramming proggy and did the reprogramming one stick at a time- woohoo 667 to 800 Mhz upgrade for free :-))


My water cooling setup is two times the NorthQ 3850... to get them fittet I had to use a dremmel to cut a little of the CM-810 but it isn't visible when the sidepanel is in place.

NorthQ 3850 Review:

It works like a charm, and I plan to get hold of two more 8384 Opterons or maybe hold out for the sixcore when I can find a ebay bargain. Only headache would be to fit two extra watercooling blocks like the NortQ thingy's, might have to buy some DIY blocks instead eeewh.

In Windows 7 I could only overclock with clockgen for nforce 4 on a couple off 8218, the program resets the comp. with the 8384 as soon as I try to change the speed of the HTT link.

I could OC the 8218's to around 3 Ghz stable.

Now my problem is that I wan't to OC in windows 7, but the BIOS is crap for OC'ing

You can't tune a single chpset item in the BIOS.

So I have during the last year scavenged the net for all kinds of information that could help in figuring out if I modify the BIOS (fx. to insert a custom option ROM with ability to changenforce4 chipset registers). but no...

Then looked into see if there was some kind of dos program that could be used as part of a grub chainloader so I could mess with the chipset just before launching the win7 OS...

Havn't found anything yet..

So Nvidia's ntune is the only program I can use...(also tried some of the old versions of AOD - AMD OVERDRIVE but can't find a version that supports changing the HTT speed for nforce4, newer versions is a no go) but the support in Windows 7 is horribile...

Newer versions of Ntune locks up windows and I can't remember which of the older versions I got to work (if any... )

Just got it working in winxp32 up untill version 5.00.04 something.. Using ntune version 3.

Maybe I could modify the nvsuoem.ini file to expose more options?? Tips appreciated :-)

Anyways... anybody out there having some tips for me...and yes I know it's a totally weird setup to OC...but it's cool...and expensive

Got the ATI 5870 and a 1200w PSU...

Might post soime pictures at some point...but really I just want to OC nforce4 in windows 7

HEEELP :-D

ps: my first issues with the board somewhat documented here :

Yes!!

I succeeded in getting this board overclocked in windows 7 64 bit.

I installed a Nvidia GeForce 220 GT graphics card and voila I could then install the Ntune program from System Utility version 6.05

I can run the HTT @ 222 Mhz stable.

This gives me 3 Ghz on the two 8384 and 888Mhz on the ddr2 ram with CAS 6 latency.

I have to play around with the RAM CAS latency and the HTT multiplier in order to get higher.

Only issue is that I programmed the ram's SPD to run CAS 5 at 533 Mhz....

I wonder if there's some program that will be able to change the CAS latency as a boot/grub loader on this chipset... Or maybe I can add some options in the .nsu profile

Currently this is what Ntune wrote in the default .nsu profile

A64Info(v1.62) lets you adjust memory frequency and Command rate, can be set up in startup folder. A64 tweaker also has a wide range of memory setting options. But I doubt they will work in Win 7 64bit. I guess you have already tried clockgen for nforce4.

-------------------------

Hi there.

Thanks for your suggestions. I already knew about those programs they only work with the second generation Opterons 82xx series AFAIK, I know a few other programs that can tune timing values on 3rd gen. Shanghai's.


But what I did instead was to reprogram the Ram I got with SPD Tool to report only one value 6 (six) CAS latency. And then Ntune disaster struck me.... Damnit and Aaaargh and so on.

This meant that I could change the Mem. speed from 400 Mhz to 800 Mhz and modify the Mem divider that way.

I actually succeeded in OC'ing the Opties to FSB 237 and also at the same time fiddling with the NB divider (Opty mem ctrl. =PCI bus #18 + 19 dev 3 offset (Dec) 212 bit 0 to 5) getting 3 GHZ on that.

Something borked my Ntune install after the SPD modification and I got the dreaded Ntune freeze shortly after login.

I had to go back to a restore point...and now for the life of it..the Ntune re-installation foobars. I noticed that Ntune stops when it tries to load some ring0 driver.

WHen it worked it almost correctly probed my system (The settings file I pasted above).

Now it creates a sysdflt.nsu file with a lot of binary crap instead.

Did 5 or 6 attempts on installing Ntune from nvidias 6.00 beta, 6.02, 6.05 system utility.. eevery time it freezes after loading some driver (think it's the nvclock64.sys) or something..

Anyhow...I'' do some more research later on...

Back again

Managed to overclock using ntune 5.05.54 in windows 7 x64.

A month ago I wiped my OS drive and reinstalled win7. All powersaving features have been disabled in the BIOS and I then installed some version of ntune...I'm running stable 3.037 Ghz with a 225 MHz FSB/HTT. Can reach 3.2 ghz but it's not stable.

If I could figure how to override the CPU VID pwm signal and write firectly to the VRM that I want max VID I might be able to go higher.

I saw some softmods for changing the voltage for gfx cards through writing to the VRM over the ic2/smbus. I got 4x vt1115 sitting on this MB - one for each cpu socket.

Found the specs - but can't identify the ic2 bus address and which registers should be written to in order to override the cpus MaxVid of 1.35 v.

I speculate the reason for eariler screw ups is some conflict between ntune and the nvidia control panel application.




In the Ntune app the system details for the Nvidia Control Panel are 1.4.13.08.

OP Back to post a bit about my progress.

A lot of time passed since I last fiddled around with OC this MB - Anyway - I'm now quadrobooting into different windows operating systems - and using windows server 2003 R2 x64 for my current OC OS as I'm still using Ntune (version 5.0.8.6 atm. with nvsuoem.ini from 6.05 )

The audence for my post is probably limited as this is now an obsolotete platform, but nevertheless...

The progress so far is a bit limited but in 2003 x64 I can now OC the HTx5 link to 233 MHz with the NB link set to x11 multi.

This OC gives the 8384 Optys a core speed of 3145 Mhz NB speed@2562 MHz and DDR2 cas5@776 MHz

I can run at HTT link speed @240 Mhz but this will crash some games....(more below HWMonitor dump)

I did have to change some things in order to attain this new OC limit.

I figured that the CPU's have been binned for different voltages at 2700 Mhz as is apparent above.

This presented me with an issue - Since I had not considered the physical placement of the cpus in the sockets when I first started to set up the system I had the 1.2 volter going into the boot BSP cpu (0) socket and a 1.3 hanging in socket 3.

Switching these two ensured I had a little more headroom. But by looking at the volt's I should also switch cpu 1 with cpu 2 since It would probably give me just a little more juice having the two 1.3 volters in socket 0 and 1.

But it's quite a cable mess and a bit time consuming to do this swapping as you can witness here

<br [/L]

Basically what I have been searching for is a way to override the cpu's reported VID's to the Volterra VRMs driving vcore voltage.

Tyan's BIOS does not expose any programmability of the VRM's to the OS (Ntune) so I've been scouring the net for information about the VT1165 VRM and found a lot of discussions about this VRM chip being used to control the vcore for GPU's which gives me some hope.

I've been using HW monitor to probe the devices on the SMBUS interface but have yet to identify the Master VRM chip driving the four slave VRM's. Or if the individual VRM driving each cpu's vcore can be addressed (found) on the SMBUS.

I checked out a google code project derivate of rivatuners vt1165 plugin - and research is ongoing... (found some datasheet's on the volterra chips - but the ones I found don't reveal how to program the VID's in anyway - maybe there is a standard PM protocol that I overlooked, that every VRM chip adheres to??)

The following regulator control capabilities are supported
over the SMBus interface:
. Override the VID code settings to program the output
voltage

Hints for my next steps will be appreciated (Register Data for the VT1165M would be super cool to have and also how to identfy I got the right address forthe VRM).

I also thought about a wire pinmod that would be driving the VRM to supply 1.55 to the opty's. I just don't know if the VID's pins on the Opty/VRM are multiplexed or latched (one time programmed after bootstrapping)

Anyway I have more than one SMBUS and there are some device that I can identify as SPD and some others I can rule out as being the VRM's.

Here's a adress/register dump:

I've searched the CPU-Z validator DB for other S4985 overclocks (google -> site:valid.canardpc.com S4985)

And others are hitting 250 Mhz on the board - I am quite sure that my issues are related to my RAM SPD settings - So I'll have to reprogram them in order to be able to hit 250 on the HTT and keeping the ram within their CAS and other timing tolerances.

I've identified Ntune 3 as working in Windows XP SP2 x64 + 2003 R2 SP2 x64 and two others. Anyway I just wanted to post this as a reminder to self
